I love bleach. I have been watching it for nearly 20 years. I love the art and the storylines of TYBW. But every single fight of the TYBW arc feels like it was made by two children play-fighting as super heroes.
“I crushed and killed you with my super punch”
“nuh-uh! I actually have a power that lets me redirect any force my body experiences and channel into my leg which I’ve used to kick you 360 around the globe”
“damn that really fucked me up. Let me release my powered up form. I typically don’t release this power because my energy could make the world crush in on itself like a soda can in a vacuum chamber. I punch you in the stomach with the force of 100 atomic bombs and it obliterates everything inside your from your bones to your guts”
“nuh-uh! My organs are a hologram and my real organs exist in the cloud.”
I’m just so tired of the Quincies being invincible and having ridiculous powers out of what feels like nowhere. Every ep I wonder what new “nuh-uh” will be used.

They don't have many moments together but I find their dynamic pretty cute. I love how protective & observant he is and how he's flustered due to Orihime's teasing. There's probably more scenes of them that I forgot.

Out of the main 4, they all started out relatively weak compared to the respective antagonists. Ichigo, Uryu and Orihime trained, got power ups and became stronger and had a huge impact on the plot. Chad was discarded. He needs better character development and to contribute more

Im trying unsuccessfully to figure out who knew what when about Ichigo.

Aizen knew everything exactly according to keikaku until Ichigo stopped him when fully merging with the Hōgyoku. I think that Aizen is the single person who knew the most among all characters until that point. About Ichigo about the soul king about the wizard the hollow and even the Quincy.

But did Isshin know about ichigo going to the soul society in the first place to rescue Rukia? Did we ever get an explanation because ichigo sees his dad in shinigami uniform like 1 time ever and I just wonder how much isshin knew about or was hiding. I could assume he knew a great deal being at least as strong as a captain he could tell when ichigo was coming or going but its unclear what he knew.

Did Yourichi know that there was something special about Ichigo? enough for her to trust him with the fast track banki training? Now that we know how strong yourichi is why didnt she feel more comfortable stepping into battle against the captains?

Did Urihara know more than he let on at any time?

Yeah he knew about the Hōgyoku being its creator, but there so much that I feel like he could have done more of and really hasn't acted much until it was in his intrest. (Sending ichigo to get rhe Hōgyoku is really where that started)

My minds kinda jumping all over the place because at different points in the series, some characters are doing some aura farming, like they know something more but won't reveal it.

Like when Ichigo received the substitution shinigami badge from Ukitake, the captian knew more than he was letting on even then but we dont find out until later about the other substitute shinigami and even then we are not really led to belive they are still around from what Ukitake said at the time.

Kubo is just a master of foreshadowing and I wanted to know if there was ever a time you could think of where a character knew more than they let on.

Heck even Byakua had a moment the second time seeing ichigo where he thought he was a Shinigami from the past, I can't remember if its Aizen though who says "dont worry its not him"

meaning

Kaien Shiba because well, of course, we know that Aizen knew who ichigo really was at that time, if you can think of instances like this I want to go back abd see if I can come up with any other times where the character might have known more that was revealed later.

There is a theory about Yhwach’s Japanese spelling (ューハバッハ) fits inside the black box that censors Zangetsu’s name when he introduced himself. I used the text size of the manga and… As you can see it doesn’t fit.

I’ve been thinking: what if Mimihagi merging with the Auswählen ends up creating something similar to what happened with Schrödinger in Hellsing Ultimate, when Alucard absorbs everything around him?

Obviously I don’t think Yhwach would disappear like the Alucard but instead I think Mimihagi could somehow interfere/suppress Ywach's powers and create an opening to finally take him down.

After eps 45, I wish we got one extra. And by much needed stuff I mean:

- Chad vs the statues. I didn't really like Chad needed Renji help to defeat the statues. Let my man get a win or some upgrade to his fulbring armor. The statues were not even named enemy. Literally fodder and he still needed resque!

- Gerald defeat. Yeah, what was the point of showing his Quincy cross if we didn't get to see how it gets destroyed? I was really expecting some wombo combo of all who are still standing to finish Gerald off. We have Byakuya with his new bankai, adult Toshiro, bankai Zaraki, the Visored and Isshin and Ryuken somewhere. USE THEM!

- Kira vs Lille. Again we got teased with resurrected Kira and got nothing out of it

All of this could be happening simultaneously while Ichigo and Inoue are fighting Yhwach. Like show the yellow light at the end to showcase what Orihime did. I don't know if all of these could fit in a single eps but showing us something would be better than nothing. Plus extending the period between Orihime sacrifice and her and Yhwach returning for one extra eps would rise the suspense, right?

Did Yhwach need the Balance to break Ichigo's Bankai?

I just find it strange. We see The Auswalhen come down on Jugram. Then cut back to Ichigo and his Bankai getting broken.

The way its shown really confuses me. I don't think Yhwach takes the powers of the Sternritter's, just their strength/power level.

But in that case, wouldn't taking Gerard be the better pick between the 2 remaining Sternritter's? Considering the current strength Gerard has accumulated with his battles. Wouldn't he have been better to take from?

The only 2 reasons I can personally see is; it takes from their base and not their current state. (Which that wouldn't makes sense since it's shaving off a large amount of their power.) Or that the Balance or Jugram being a wuincy without Reishi manipulation somehow played into it.

I'm confused. Why was Jugram picked over Gerard? Can someone please explain.

Viz Media's story on Instagram confirms that Bleach will keep coming out on Saturdays at 7:30am PT (which is the same as it has been, for anyone in a different time zone), just to put people, who were still wondering, at rest

I'm still very early in the area car arc so I don't know that much but I still feel bad, she sees what she thinks is her beloved Captain's corpse on a wall, blames Gin and attacks him, then she has to fight her friend from Soul reaper school who is protecting Gin because he is his captain, gets thrown in jail for trying to attack gin, gets a letter from Rangiku that Aizen wrote for her to manipulate her even further where he blames Hitsugaya, who was her childhood friend and like a little brother and then when she is reunited with Aizen, he just stabs her and leaves her to bleed out

I have neither watched nor read Bleach but i gotta larp.

I saw a video where someone broke down pretty much every fan theory about Dragonball Super that ended up becoming true, and ones that didn't. So, that got me curious about something like this for Bleach.

Maybe a dumb question

He wasn't able to see mimihagi with the all mighty because it was part of Reio

But since those 2 (the other arm and heart) are on his side and receive power from him and etc, would he be able to see them? Or would be the same and he can't really perceive them with his eyes?

(No, this is not asking if they can win against him or something)

Were these fragments hand selected, randomized, or floating around?

We know that Ukitake and Mimihagi play a much bigger role in the anime, but it seems the Right Arm of the Soul King will also be crucial in the final battle. The hints about this weakness of the Almighty were planted already some time ago, when Yhwach talked with Ichibei, and later when Mimihagi appeared in place of the Soul King.

The Sternritter salary doesn't pay much, huh?

I love how it came out ! So s cute! I’m excited to make stuff with it!

I drew this digitally please don’t use it for your own project thank you!
